the Dynast and Kriptonite among a few others come w/an sleeve for 18650 batteries so you can have/use a 26650 w/o having to buy the 26650 battery.

see sleeve pictured below

The sleeves work great, too. For anyone who didn't see my post earlier, I have used my Kryptonite and an 18650 battery with the sleeve, and it worked just as well as any mod that was made for 18650's.

With all this talk about the subtank,i think i may be interested in buying one.A question though,how is the airflow on these compared to something like the kayfun v4?I usually use my orchids as my go to tanks,but sometimes depending on my mood and what juice i'm using,they can be a bit too airy at times,so i grab the kayfun v4 with the airflow all the way open,and that is just about perfect.Do these have better airflow than the kayfun lite or 3.1,those were way too tight of a draw,so if it's like those,then i dont want to waste the money,but i'm definitely interested in these,i like the idea that i can throw a new head in it if i'm in a rush or feeling too lazy to wrap and wick some coils haha.

I don't DIY, but I have tinkered with my e-liquid. I had some 100% VG that I couldn't use in my clearo because it was too thick. I ended up asking for double the nic, mixing it 50/50 with some PG, and adding some menthol drops and some Peppermint drops. It turned out well! I would love to take the time and figure out the correct steps to take to DIY. I'm sure peppermint is not a super hard liquid to make. Only criteria I have, I want it strong and pepperminty fresh!

Subtank is airy as all get out. You can adjust to 1 x about 2 mm hole, 2 x 2 mm holes, or wide open. I can take shallow mouth to lung hits on 1 and solid lung hits on 2 or 3.

I just got through rebuilding 11 smoktech/kanger coils.....I know I should be ashamed of how many I had to build due to putting it off :( The sad part is I am getting ready to rebuild 4 more (aspire nautilus from months ago [emoji15] along with a couple other types....) That makes 15 coils total that I had to rebuild at one time!

OMG....I just found 5 more coils that need rebuilt :( That makes 20 total coils that needed to be rebuilt. I need to be disciplined for letting that many accumulate! Bad Ducky.....[emoji22]

A Stainless 26650 akuma...thats sweet ...dont think I have seen one in stainless before....I see you have different rda screws on the site which is soo great I have been looking for a good place to buy them. May I suggest trying to get some unleaded brass, copper, or gold/silver plated screws as they would probably literally fly off the shelf
Akuma 26650 Stainless Limited Edition

My son said Okinawa is beautiful ... He was stationed there when he first went into the Air Force. At thr time, he was single and enjoying the whole ambience of the island..

Just like any place it has both good and bad aspects. I first came here while I was in the Corps and ended up doing most of my active duty time here then stayed when I retired.
When was he here?

I think i'm sold on one then haha.It's hard to tell in pictures how big the holes are,so i wasn't sure.I think my orchids are roughly 2mm holes,so being able to adjust from that would be perfect.The only kanger tanks i have used were the protank mini and protank 2 with an aerotank base and those are both way too tight of a draw for me now,so that's what had me concerned when i see the kanger name,those tanks are what come to mind first haha.

Oh my goodness probably around 1987... He retired from the Air Force. My granddaughter was born in japan. He got sent to the mainland for a couple years after he was married so I got to go to japan for a couple weeks when she was born. I loved it!! Tokyo was an interesting and friendly place where people would stop us just so they could practice their English.

my only problem w/the iStick 30 is that it has the same size battery as the 20 so use @ higher power would consume the battery charge rather quickly. IMO the iStick 50 would be a better choice my :2c:

That's good to know, I'll keep that in mind when recommending something to new vapers. I never researched the iStick, so I had no idea that the battery was the same as the one in the 20. :)

Ok so not sure how to post this but,,,
Wifey was at the bar having drinks with her coworkers. One of them asked her what she had and she told them " a ---- e cig wanna try" (the name kinda reassembles a sound a cat makes ) he did and the absent mindedly blurted out he tasted her kitty... The whole table died laughing

I was here at that time - my 1st tour here was 84 - 88 (was originally for 1 year but I kept extending). Ask him about Gate 2 and BC streets - he was single so I know he experienced it:)

The only problem with pulling the batteries on the E-mech is you have to reset the clock/calendar every time you do it.
I like my E-mechs.

Yeah, plus you have to reset it to wattage each time. I don't bother with the clock any more.

I could take it apart and try to fix it, (Joan, helped with telling me about that), but I love it so much, and since it works fine, I thought I wouldn't tempt fate. :)

Don't blame you for that. As long as it performs the primary function why mess with it.

I still have a ton that need to be rebuilt. I did take the Magma, the Lemo and the Orchid apart completely, and cleaned them thoroughly, a few hours ago, so at least they are ready to be rebuilt.
